Wanjirũ Warama (Pronounced: One-g-row Wah-Rah-Mah) was born and raised on a British Colonial Farm in Kenya to peasant farmworkers with no formal education. She uses her unique experiences as a child peasant laborer, her world travels to all seven continents, and as an immigrant in the United States to write biographical and historical nonfiction books that enlighten, entertain, and inspire readers to share their own stories with family, friends, and others. She has written seven books and one personal essay. Her first book, in THE COLONIZED series (THE COLONIZED and the Scramble for Africa), is set in Kenya. It's about the lives she, her family, and her Kikuyu community led on that British colonial farm and how that had come about. She is now writing the fourth book of the series, scheduled to be published at the end of 2025. Because she grew up in a world devoid of books, education is close to her heart. That’s the only way she knows that will equip a person, born under a cloud of disadvantages, to escape the debilitating and dehumanizing grind of poverty she experienced in high school (the subject of the 4th book of the series). A philanthropist, Wanjirũ is a member of The Rotary Club, a lifetime member of the Friends of the San Diego Public Library, a benefactor of Gitura Secondary and Gitura Primary schools in Kenya, and a member of the San Diego Writers & Editors Guild, among others. She lives in California, United States. * * *
